(01:11):
and by the way, an hour two. I want to

Flex and t J show them a little bit of love.
We got the all new Fox Sports nine twenty. That's Columbus,
Ohio UH home of the Columbus Clippers baseball team and
affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians. Thank you all. Thank you
(01:34):
to your general manager Brian Dike Ditko Ditko dick Co alright,
Brian dick Co. Yeah, Thank you, sir, UH and their
program director John Crinshaw for bringing in up on game
every Saturday from twelve pm Eastern to two pm Eastern.
We are very, very excited to be on your fair
(01:55):
radio station. And obviously UH one being connected to Ohio
from the Ohio football team there in Cincinnati, even though
that's not Columbus, and you know, obviously us being big
tenors of the Ohio State connection and plex played in Pittsburgh.
I'm from Pittsburgh, a lot of connections to Columbus. So
(02:17):
shouts out to you guys at Fox Sports night and
when he would appreciate you guys joining in, all right,
fellas Lamar Jackson. There's been a lot of talk, a
lot of discussions about Lamar and and and is he
doing things the right way? Does he want out? Does
he want in? What is the situation with Lamar Jackson.
A lot of people had criticisms when he missed the
(02:40):
first parts of O T A S. He's now since
reported and we have some sound from him. Interested to
hear what you guys think coming out of this. Plans
to have a conversation about the contract publica, Oh, we
actually did we we did? You know, it's a conversation,
so we're just keeping a private do you and Eric
just doing the one on one talking. I can take
us through any of that. We have a conversation. So
(03:03):
if you're gonna continue during the season, Uh, you have
a conversation your career prospect. So yes, I do watch
the national guy's talk. A lot of them say they
wouldn't step on the field, like with your brand of
football without a deal, do you nah? Nah, I don't
(03:24):
buy into it at all. You're not play football. That's
what I'm here for. Uh. If you want to have
one opinion one way or the other, you're certainly entitled
to that. I thought that that was brilliance personified, if
you ask me, brilliance personified. They were trying to lead
(03:44):
him down the road, and the only question that he
answered definitively was that he wanted to be and in
Baltimore for the duration of his career. And and one
I would add as well is that he's okay with
betting on himself, even with the brand of football that
he plays. Fellas, Now, you may have a different opinion,
(04:05):
but what what say you, guys? How what was your
takeaway from from this? Uh? From these sound bites from
Lamar Jackson, I thought he handled himself very well that
that that's obviously they were trying to bait him into
saying something about his contract that would be click bait
worthy and he didn't give it to him. But the
(04:25):
thing is odd to me is if he was being
offered what he was looking for, he would have a contract.
It's just that simple. If they were offering him, mean,
youngest quarterback in the history of the league to win
m v P the history of the league, the second
youngest player to win m v P in the history
(04:48):
of the league behind Jim Brown, and that was the
first year they didn't m VP Boton. And so if
they offer Lamar Jackson what he feels like he deserves,
he's going to se signe. And they can say, oh,
we're ready to sign Lamar. Uh, Yeah, you're ready to
sign him, but you're not ready to sign him for
what he's looking for. And that's a huge difference. And
(05:10):
he's not gonna put him on blasts. He's not saying that,
and that's what they want him to say. He houn
did it well. But when the Ravens are ready to
pay Lamar Jackson what he's earned, he'll sign. Yeah. I
don't think there's no doubt that he's going to remain
the quarterback for the Ravens. Is just I think the
(05:31):
Ravens of basically putting them in a situation to say
and to let him know that he's going to have
to earn this contract by going out and performing this year.
And there are a lot of areas which he can
improve in obviously standing and standing in the pocket and
making better throws, making better decisions and different things like that.
(05:51):
Everybody knows what he's capable of of when when he
gets out of the pocket and he starts running, he's
the fastest player on the field. But for me, I
just want to see him develop and make progress and
as being a better passer. I think that that's what
the league is going to And you heard the reporter say,
(06:12):
you know, players wouldn't take the field with his style
of play, but that's just who he is as a player.
But he's going to get paid. He's going to be
north of forty million dollars, There's no doubt about it.
And I think the main question about his contract will
it be with the Baltimore Ravens or will it be
with somebody else? Because I believe what have smoked as
(06:35):
far if the Baltimore Ravens were confident that he was
their franchise quarterback, they would have signed him already. So
he's going to have to go out and prove it
that he's worthy of that contract that they're going to issue.
Is there possibility that what he believes is worthy in
terms of a contract based off the way he's accomplished.
(06:56):
I mean, I would say, okay, he's not more accurate.
He hasn't done more throwing the ball than Deshaun Watson.
But Deshaun Watson has been rewarded with the highest paid
contract in the history of the game. And he's not
a he's not a league MVP. There's there's no there's
(07:17):
no way of saying. Taking the information of all the
production that Deshaun Watson's head it didn't lead to them
winning in in Houston. So if there's the justification of
the next highest contract is always the contract that everybody's
looking to beat. That was Patrick Mahomes not too long ago.
Now it is Deshaun Watson. You heard, you heard the
(07:40):
owner of of the Baltimore Ravens even come out and
say that it was not a contract that he was
comfortable with or happy about, and why it was basically
buffoonery to do it. And now you're in a situation
where you're trying to figure out a long term contract
redo or extension for for Lamar Jackson. I think that
(08:03):
this put that contract has now put anyone who has
a an elite quarterback on their roster, it has now
put them in a very very compromising position in terms
of how you're going to move forward with that guy,
because these quarterbacks aren't going to take lesser from a
situation based upon someone that they believe that they're more
(08:25):
of in the scenario. And so to me, wouldn't you
guys believe that that kind of creates and even more
intensified conversation in terms of show it, improve it. If
he does go out there and he bets on his
brand of football. He shows it and he proves it.
Then wouldn't you guys say that now Baltimore has no
choice but to actually come in and offer more than
(08:46):
what they're there. I mean, I won't say division rival,
but a division opponent gave to make their team better,
Lamar Jackson. And and this is every quarterback, and it's
good for them. It's good for these dudes that Deshaun
Watson got a fully guaranteed contract now on a year
perennial basis, Aaron Rodgers making fifty million a year, that's
(09:08):
what everybody's shooting for now. They're shooting for that yearly salary,
yearly average and the guaranteed that Deshaun Watson received. And
so it's the price of doing business now, that's what
it is. And so who's going to be the quarterback
that has the leverage that's young enough to say this
(09:31):
is it or else? As long as he stick to
his guns, they're gonna get it. Deshaun Watson now is
opened Pandora's box and the Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns actually
did and so surprise into a business. Lamar Jackson's gonna
get his money where where another because he's just that
good of a player. And just listen to how Baker
(09:53):
Mayfield teammates talk about him when anything goes bad, we
hear nothing. And then listening when Lamar Jackson shows up
the manikamp and how'st oh Man the energy he brings
just having them around, man, It's it's completely different. The
Ravens got to get this done because the morality or
team would be awful if they don't. But one thing,
when Ozzy Newson was Jim and now would Eric the costa.
(10:15):
The Baltimore Ravens have a history of paying their guys.
They're gonna get this done. The Baltimore Ravens don't let
guys that they want back on that team go that.
That's one thing they do. They resign their guys. It's
one thing I will say. I believe that Lamar Jackson
style football fits the Baltimore Ravens more than any other
(10:38):
team in the league because the way that they want
to run the football and throw the ball off of
play ass and different things like this. But when you
go back to looking at his contract situation, are we
paying him based off of him being at the NFL
m v P or all we off of potential off
of potential and I think pay off a potential. It's
(11:00):
a little bit of both. I mean, you assume you
he stay healthy, he can continue to do what he did,
you would assume. I mean what you're basing the potential
off of what his resume has has given you prove
is he is? He Josh Deshaun Watson. Different thing if
you look at it's like you said, Deshaun Watson open
(11:22):
Pandora's box. We haven't even got to talking about the
Joe Burrows and the Justin Herbers and those guys coming
into the coming off their rookie contracts. So what do
you pay him off of? It's gonna have to be
off of Deshaun Watson because he's an elite quarterback that
has accomplished more than Deshaun Watson. And yes, and that's
(11:45):
the that's that's that's the bottom line of it all.
I think that that that's going to be uncomfortable and
it's gonna be interesting to see how those topics play
out and how they, you know, run their courts. You're
listening up on game that's t J. Hutchman's Out of
Plexico Burst. I'm LaVar Arrington Uh, coming up next, Draymond Green. Yes,
we are now going to touch on the topic of
(12:05):
Draymond Green coming out of his fourth NBA title. He
was a lightning rod for conversation based off of the
things that he was saying, uh, the performances that he
was having on the court, as well as on his podcast.
We have some sound on that, so we'll get to
that on the other side of his break. All right,
you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. All right, here we go,
(12:28):
welcome back in. This is up on game. Uh. That
Dollar Saved Club six blade razor and you know what
it does. Brings noticeably smooth shaves with six stainless steel
blades for swift hair removal and a lubricating strip that
keeps things smooth. The Dollar Shave Club razors are sold
(12:51):
at Dollar Shade Club dot com or in stores. Uh, Fellas,
we're gonna revisit the NBA finals. Out of the finals
came some interesting sound from one of the most polarizing figures.
And should I say the NBA or should I say
in media? Should I say in the NBA and in media?
(13:14):
It's up for you to decide. But take a listen
to what our man Draymond Green had to say, if
you know the game of basketball, basketball will give you
enough to talk about the problem is all of these
people talking about basketball that don't know basketball, and so
what do you do you chase controversy the new media,
(13:35):
we don't do that. That's why you see J. J.
Reddick flourishing. That's why you see c. J. McCullum flourishing.
That's why you see me flourishing. So we don't do that.
We simply talk the game that we know and embrace it. Teach.
That's what these spots are about. How do you teach
(13:56):
the game? How do you teach the fans the game?
These people to think they know the game of basketball
but don't really know. How does JJ ready go up
there and teach the game? That's the new media. You
got foods like Kendrick Perkins, come dressing like a clown,
come uparre in a jail suit, and then you lead
a game early tonight. Stand on your word, brother, you
(14:19):
gotta stand on that. One thing is for certain. I'm
gonna stand on my full time champ. I'm out. Oh wow,
he did drop the mic and he did drop Maybe
that should have been a maybe this is a second
hour on your head. I mean because Draymond Green got
on Kendrick Perkins his head. Um new media teaching versus
(14:43):
hot takes. What what is your you know? I know
for us, the premise of our show is three dudes
that did it, lived it, understand it, know it, and
our solution based, solution driven. But we're also, uh, we
come from that, you know, come from that angle that
we want to educate um. But it doesn't have to
(15:05):
be xs and those in terms of educating, it could
just be understanding you know, how certain things are are
taking place, rules of engagement, different things like that, perspectives
from players, coaches, all those different things. What would y'alls
take on what Draymond had to say? Draymond had he
has a point, But I would assume Kendrick Perkins played
(15:27):
the game a long time. I can't say he don't
know the gain exactly. The problem is Kendrick Perkins pick
Boston and Win has some things to say about Draymond
that Draymond didn't like. So he's just singled him out
and so. But but he does have a point about
teaching the game. There's people that played the game maybe
and we all know this, that don't know a damn thing.
(15:49):
They dumb. They were just talented. They can't teach you anything.
They can't teach themselves. They just did things instinctually that
made them really good players. But when criticism in those
hot that's what people want to hear in some people,
they go into that lane and they stay into that
(16:09):
lane where somebody, Oh Steph Curry can't do this and that, man,
you really don't believe that, But you know people are
gonna listen to that, Oh, Lebron James can't do this, this,
or that. It really don't Kevin Durant, is it everybody?
All those guys that I just named, generational players, some
of the best players the NBA has ever seen, to
(16:30):
criticize them, You know people are gonna listen to that,
But do you really believe that that's what he's saying.
You got guys like J. J. Reddick that can articulate
the game to where the average fan gets it. Draymond
does a really good job. But I don't know if
Kendrick Perkins can teach it or not teach it. I
(16:52):
just know he had some words for Draymond. Draymond didn't
like him. So now he going back at Kendrick Perkins
because he don't want to check fapionship, as he said,
four time champs, and then Plax dropped the mic on him.
You could hear a drop from from the from the
professional athlete standpoint, whether it's you know, NBA, NFL, or
(17:17):
whatever sport. Maybe I no longer want to hear athletes
talking about author I'm not listening to what everybody else
is saying. I'm not listening to what the media saying.
I don't I don't care what anybody thinks. This proves
to us, not just in dray months uh you know situation,
but also Steph Curry him holding up to zero, you know,
(17:40):
over his eye because everybody on the other for another
network network said that he would never win another championship.
But if he didn't have Kevin Durant and he proved
them wrong, all the nay says, we're saying, listen, the
Golden State days are done basically after they came off
with two seasons with low and records and now they're
(18:01):
back on top. So Dremond Green played Thompson. He even
had some things to say about Jaren Jackson, saying it
strengthen numbers and and and it picked them off. And
I mean the man set on the podium and calls
your bum J J. May get your game right this summer,
come back at them. I'm not absolutely, but this whole
(18:22):
thing about these guys are not listening to trust me,
They're listening to what you're saying, and they're using this
is motivation and and all they're doing is adding fuel
to the fire for these guys to go out and
prove everybody wrong. And that's exactly what they did. And
they are going to relish in this opportunity, in this
moment for the next you know, to the season starts.
(18:44):
To let everybody know they listen, we are four time
world champions. You know they're coming back better. Like I
believe that they're coming back a better team next year.
Of course they are. They're gonna get younger, they're gonna
that they are gonna plug in ingrical pieces that are
gonna make them better and the paint primarily because they
(19:06):
don't need anything on the perimeter, because because of the
guys that they already helping a roster. But if they
they're going to get better and ask somebody to post
and play defense, maybe a guy like Steven Adams or
whoever it may be, whys is coming back off of injury.
But Draymond, Clay and Steph are sending a message to
(19:27):
the world. They listen, Man, we don't care what y'all say.
We hear y'all. We're listening. Now. What four chips deal
with it? Yeah, I would say he's right. He did
get four chips and he did do some good things.
But I mean, he was not the catalyst for that
team winning. He was the don't matter if the catalyst.
That kind of matters a little bit when you when
(19:49):
you got that, when you have that much to say
about it, like he's you know, in the last game,
I think he was too rebounds for triple double. Think
pretty well, he was a big part of it. But
what Draymond does, you can't look at it statistically. It's
so much more than that. In basketball. The defensity plays
(20:13):
energy that he breeds, and so it was also a
liability at one point, and that's why that's but you
can't they didn't just state I'm so what I'm gonna
just state doti obvious on it. I mean, he wasn't
a catalyst like that first game or the second game
he came out, and he'll make the first one to
tell you he wasn't the catalyst. Everybody knows that team
(20:33):
runs through Steph Curry. He'll be the first one to
tell you that. But it's his impact and when he's
on that court and his way of communicating, his way
of setting screens, his understanding of knowing I'm not the catalyst.
How many guys can swallow their pride when they wide
open and be like, I'm gonna take this now, I'm
gonna get this to Stepford Clay because I know they're
(20:54):
gonna knock it down to Jordan Pools. I don't disagree
with that, will be It wasn't mean he did pretty
decent in the last game. That was his best showing
in that last game. I mean, that's that's fine. Here's
what I'll say, right, I would never I would never
say a guy that played the game at the level
(21:16):
that that Kendrick Perkins played at at doesn't know basketball.
He's just searching for hot takes. I mean, you gotta
be a pretty special dude to be able to make
it to the league. I mean that's first and foremost.
I would never. Yeah, I wouldn't diminish anything that anybody
had to say. I would also challenge people to think
about how many people outside UH players, former players, do
(21:36):
you trust their opinions and their words when they're speaking
on on certain certain leagues, whether it's the NFL, whether
it's college football, college basketball, whether it's the NBA. You know,
to me, it's all athletes, it's all former athletes. If
you imagine if you took out all of the former
athletes that represent the analysts on these shows, them shows
(21:59):
with suck, they would be horrible shows. So to me,
when you look at what what these different athletes, retired athletes,
current athletes, what they bring to the table in terms
of how they explain what's going on, Everybody's going to
have different perspectives because everybody has different backgrounds. It's a
matter of how you you organize your information. That's how
(22:20):
you you know, you communicate your your information. Really that
makes makes it matter the most in media, you know
so and more notably, everybody has different careers, so that
so they speak from different experiences. I can't say, I
can't tell you and in the conversation that we would
(22:41):
have in terms of debates, what it feels like to
go into preparing for Super Bowl, what it feels like
to be in the halftime or in the first and
second quarter of the Super Bowl. And I think Draymond
and Clay Thompson that's that's exactly what they are implying
when Click Thompson says to J. J. Jen Jackson to listen, man,
(23:02):
we haven't been here before. We know how to respond
even if we get beat by forty or fifty points.
So they're speaking from different angle was based off of
where their career went or what they experienced as a player,
and I think that's what he's saying. He's not saying
that Kendrick Perkins doesn't know basketball because because we all
(23:26):
know that to be false. I think Kendrick Perkin was
a great player. He played on two great teams. He
was able to want to I think he was with Boston,
so he can speak from, you know, those points of view.
But what he's saying is that listen, you know, just
because you know you played in Boston and you had
some bad things to say out be just you know,
(23:47):
it doesn't diminish his his basketball knowledge because obviously Draymond
was just a little distrounto based off of some of
the things that Kendrick Perkins has to say, saying he
was on his head. He was on Draymond's head. He
just outstare basically taking up space. He ain't doing none
but passing the ball. He a lot. I mean, he
(24:07):
was on his head and so. But they're both. They're
both they're both media irritants. Like I mean, let's be honest,
Like the way his game is, the way the way
both of them played their games, the way they kind
of present their their discussion points. It's irritant driven. You know,
it's not. It's not like, make no mistake about it.
Draymond is going to irritate you and he enjoys it,
(24:30):
you know. Kendrick Perkins, Yeah, sure, sure, so he is.
So I mean, taking for what it's worth, I mean,
I face value. They're both irritants in terms of how
they discuss things or how they approached topics. So, I mean,
I will say this, I find Draymond Green to be
super entertaining. I listened to his podcast. I I pay
(24:52):
attention to the things he has to say because one
of the things I learned about media is if you're
one of those guys that people don't know what you're
gonna say X, they're gonna listen to you. You know,
it's so funny, like like people that hate you, Your
biggest listeners and your biggest customers are not your friends
and your family. Your biggest supporters are the people that
hate the things that you say. I had a person
(25:12):
come on my social media the other week and tell
me how I wasn't nothing nothingness, You're nothing. Everybody loves
the guy you're talking about this that another and right
below the comment, they started following me like do you
see the irony? And that so to me. You know,
when you look at someone like Draymond Green, Draymond Green
(25:32):
is going to move, He's going to move the needle.
He's saying. He flourishes because he's teaching. I say flourishes
because he's provocative, he's polarizing, and and you don't know
what he's gonna say next, but he says it. Well,
he's not he's not saying what he needs to say
in a way where you can't understanding, where it's not clear,
(25:53):
where it's not thought out, where it's not articulated, very
very nicely, very well done. I mean, the young man
knows what he's doing with a microphone and and you
know what that's that's to me. I think that's the wave.
I think with the n i L situation with college
players actually being able to have these opportunities in some places,
high school guys will have in and and ladies they
(26:16):
will have these opportunities. I think that is the way
that is new media is guys that are current in
the games are gonna have a voice, a larger voice.
So anyways, well we're gonna take a break. Um well,
it's not a break, it's a it's an update from
our guy trending from from Ilan. On the other side
of that, we're gonna talk about some pat my homes
and listen to his reactions to Tyreek kill. Hello, what

the b o b as as you would call it,
stretch of a bunch of bologna for those out there
who weren't there on our one of of of Tyreek Hill,
saying that to a was more accurate than you know.
Patrick Mahomes, Well, my Homes had a reaction to what
(29:32):
Tarik had to say, and here's what he said. I'm
surprised a little, um, just because I feel like we
we love Tyreek here, we always loved and we still
love him. I saw him out of Formula one in Miami.
I mean, I'm sure it had something to do with
trying to get his podcast some some stuff and get
it rolling. But uh, definitely, I still love Tyreek is
one of the kind player. But UHG, you know, and
Coach Red's offense, it takes the whole team. I mean,
(29:54):
this offense was rolling before I got here in This
offense was rolling when I was a young Cowboy fan
watching the Eagles beat up on the Cowboy with So
I mean, it's a it's an offense that's more than
one player, and that includes myself. Wow, that was passive aggressive.
If you ask me, that was that was like, I
didn't like it. I thought it was passive aggressive because
to me, I think that if you if you're going
(30:17):
to be aggressive about it in any way, just go
ahead and say what you feel. Because he never said
now he's not, I don't I don't buy it. He
just mean, what do you expect for him to say? Man,
I'm telling he's one in the world. So if you're
gonna address it, then you go ahead and address it.
But you know, Patrick Mahomes is not a bit like that.
We we know that he's not gonna start up for
(30:38):
any controversy. He's going to continue to let hip. That
was a tap bit of con That was a tape
bit of controversy. But I don't even for me. If
you're Hill, get out there and speak the truth. Man, don't.
But what if people believes he's speaking the truth, you
keep you keep putting it off to the side that
he's not being insecurate. I don't. I don't think Tyrick
(31:00):
Hill wanted to leave Kansas City. I believe he was
put in a situation with the Dolphins offered them so
much money he couldn't turn it down and they couldn't.
Not on the same team he saw Davonte Adams to
get that deal. If the Chiefs were negotiating that it
took too long. Oh no, I need to come close
to this. When when I say come out and tell
(31:22):
the truth, Tyrek Hill sits on the radio and says
he was underutilized and under and underappreciated. My my g
you had a hundred and eleven receptions last year. You
average eighties six catches in twelve hundred yards over over
four seasons. You got a hundred and sixty nine targets
last year. That's eleven per game. So you say, so,
(31:46):
how can you sit there and say you're underutilized and
underappreciate it. You you're the most exposed to player that
we have seen it the position in a long time.
So defense are not just gonna let you just rip
them apart and run through his own six and seven
of your bombs every weekend. You're going to get double teams.
He's saying that they didn't put them one of the
ones Stue wasts when they were playing against the team's
(32:08):
best corner back. No, my nude, they're gonna w You
have to understand that. But then don't go on the
radio in your podcasts and these interviews and say you
will underappreciate it. Do you not think Andy Reid and passion,
we're trying to get you to football. You just can't
burn Bridges man like you had over a hundred catches. Yeah,
you might have wanted more looks at it. When you
(32:29):
have over a hunter catches, you're not underutilized. Today. The
six nine talkers in the season month replex he getting
ten pad pretty much ten balls throwing his way per
game on average, just under ten a game. You want
the best offensive plays. You're one of the best players
(32:49):
on the team. They're trying to get you the ball.
And I think what happens is, and I think everybody
is somewhat guilty of this, is when you leave a team,
instead of just talking about all the positive you want
to throw little jabs here and there. You can't do that.
There's no need to do that because you never know
if your paths might cross again. Don't burn a bridge
(33:13):
that you may need later on. And we don't realize
that enough, but I did when I didn't. I ain't
gonna lie to you until it was too late in Pittsburgh.
So you handle things the right way, which a lot
of us do not. So you're very well qualified to
(33:33):
speak on something like this because a lot of us didn't.
You blew it up and I will never cross it
ever again. Hey, I guess I was in between the
two of you guys, and I was I ain't detonated,
but I didn't handle it the right way either. It's
just something we all do. Man, you live the un

got fined, uh for a second straight year for practices
being too physical. I gotta ask you, guys, and just
real quickly, super quickly. Um. I think it's a good
thing and you can never be too physical. So if
you're getting fined for it, that means you're setting a
(36:08):
tone and you're okay with setting that tone, even though
I would say follow the rules. But we all know,
you know, sometimes you know, things get a little spirited.
What do you guys think? Hey, plex By the way,
we got clear skies now there there. It's almost impossible man,
that had any practice without there being a lot of
(36:28):
physical contact. It's virtually impossible the lineman guys trying to
prove a point. Either let them do it or don't
hold the practice because we all participate in them and
it's high contact. What you got plex this pro football
and badminton. I mean it could be touched, you know.
Greg Loyd said it was touched for the flag football.
I'm just listen if you if you want to set
(36:50):
that physicality tone with your team, play physical on Sunday.
Stop somebody to do something, block somebody. All right, well
physical enough. We were physical for these two hours. I'll
tell you that, so physical that I'm gonna go get

I'm from Pittsburgh, a lot of connections to Columbus. So
(02:17):
shouts out to you guys at Fox Sports night and
when he would appreciate you guys joining in, all right,
fellas Lamar Jackson. There's been a lot of talk, a
lot of discussions about Lamar and and and is he
doing things the right way? Does he want out? Does
he want in? What is the situation with Lamar Jackson.
A lot of people had criticisms when he missed the
(02:40):
first parts of O T A S. He's now since
reported and we have some sound from him. Interested to
hear what you guys think coming out of this. Plans
to have a conversation about the contract publica, Oh, we
actually did we we did? You know, it's a conversation,
so we're just keeping a private do you and Eric
just doing the one on one talking. I can take
us through any of that. We have a conversation. So
(03:03):
if you're gonna continue during the season, Uh, you have
a conversation your career prospect. So yes, I do watch
the national guy's talk. A lot of them say they
wouldn't step on the field, like with your brand of
football without a deal, do you nah? Nah, I don't
(03:24):
buy into it at all. You're not play football. That's
what I'm here for. Uh. If you want to have
one opinion one way or the other, you're certainly entitled
to that. I thought that that was brilliance personified, if
you ask me, brilliance personified. They were trying to lead
(03:44):
him down the road, and the only question that he
answered definitively was that he wanted to be and in
Baltimore for the duration of his career. And and one
I would add as well is that he's okay with
betting on himself, even with the brand of football that
he plays. Fellas, Now, you may have a different opinion,
(04:05):
but what what say you, guys? How what was your
takeaway from from this? Uh? From these sound bites from
Lamar Jackson, I thought he handled himself very well that
that that's obviously they were trying to bait him into
saying something about his contract that would be click bait
worthy and he didn't give it to him. But the
(04:25):
thing is odd to me is if he was being
offered what he was looking for, he would have a contract.
It's just that simple. If they were offering him, mean,
youngest quarterback in the history of the league to win
m v P the history of the league, the second
youngest player to win m v P in the history
(04:48):
of the league behind Jim Brown, and that was the
first year they didn't m VP Boton. And so if
they offer Lamar Jackson what he feels like he deserves,
he's going to se signe. And they can say, oh,
we're ready to sign Lamar. Uh, Yeah, you're ready to
sign him, but you're not ready to sign him for
what he's looking for. And that's a huge difference. And
(05:10):
he's not gonna put him on blasts. He's not saying that,
and that's what they want him to say. He houn
did it well. But when the Ravens are ready to
pay Lamar Jackson what he's earned, he'll sign. Yeah. I
don't think there's no doubt that he's going to remain
the quarterback for the Ravens. Is just I think the
(05:31):
Ravens of basically putting them in a situation to say
and to let him know that he's going to have
to earn this contract by going out and performing this year.
And there are a lot of areas which he can
improve in obviously standing and standing in the pocket and
making better throws, making better decisions and different things like that.
(05:51):
Everybody knows what he's capable of of when when he
gets out of the pocket and he starts running, he's
the fastest player on the field. But for me, I
just want to see him develop and make progress and
as being a better passer. I think that that's what
the league is going to And you heard the reporter say,
(06:12):
you know, players wouldn't take the field with his style
of play, but that's just who he is as a player.
But he's going to get paid. He's going to be
north of forty million dollars, There's no doubt about it.
And I think the main question about his contract will
it be with the Baltimore Ravens or will it be
with somebody else? Because I believe what have smoked as
(06:35):
far if the Baltimore Ravens were confident that he was
their franchise quarterback, they would have signed him already. So
he's going to have to go out and prove it
that he's worthy of that contract that they're going to issue.
Is there possibility that what he believes is worthy in
terms of a contract based off the way he's accomplished.
(06:56):
I mean, I would say, okay, he's not more accurate.
He hasn't done more throwing the ball than Deshaun Watson.
But Deshaun Watson has been rewarded with the highest paid
contract in the history of the game. And he's not
a he's not a league MVP. There's there's no there's
(07:17):
no way of saying. Taking the information of all the
production that Deshaun Watson's head it didn't lead to them
winning in in Houston. So if there's the justification of
the next highest contract is always the contract that everybody's
looking to beat. That was Patrick Mahomes not too long ago.
Now it is Deshaun Watson. You heard, you heard the
(07:40):
owner of of the Baltimore Ravens even come out and
say that it was not a contract that he was
comfortable with or happy about, and why it was basically
buffoonery to do it. And now you're in a situation
where you're trying to figure out a long term contract
redo or extension for for Lamar Jackson. I think that
(08:03):
this put that contract has now put anyone who has
a an elite quarterback on their roster, it has now
put them in a very very compromising position in terms
of how you're going to move forward with that guy,
because these quarterbacks aren't going to take lesser from a
situation based upon someone that they believe that they're more
(08:25):
of in the scenario. And so to me, wouldn't you
guys believe that that kind of creates and even more
intensified conversation in terms of show it, improve it. If
he does go out there and he bets on his
brand of football. He shows it and he proves it.
Then wouldn't you guys say that now Baltimore has no
choice but to actually come in and offer more than
(08:46):
what they're there. I mean, I won't say division rival,
but a division opponent gave to make their team better,
Lamar Jackson. And and this is every quarterback, and it's
good for them. It's good for these dudes that Deshaun
Watson got a fully guaranteed contract now on a year
perennial basis, Aaron Rodgers making fifty million a year, that's
(09:08):
what everybody's shooting for now. They're shooting for that yearly salary,
yearly average and the guaranteed that Deshaun Watson received. And
so it's the price of doing business now, that's what
it is. And so who's going to be the quarterback
that has the leverage that's young enough to say this
(09:31):
is it or else? As long as he stick to
his guns, they're gonna get it. Deshaun Watson now is
opened Pandora's box and the Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns actually
did and so surprise into a business. Lamar Jackson's gonna
get his money where where another because he's just that
good of a player. And just listen to how Baker
(09:53):
Mayfield teammates talk about him when anything goes bad, we
hear nothing. And then listening when Lamar Jackson shows up
the manikamp and how'st oh Man the energy he brings
just having them around, man, It's it's completely different. The
Ravens got to get this done because the morality or
team would be awful if they don't. But one thing,
when Ozzy Newson was Jim and now would Eric the costa.
(10:15):
The Baltimore Ravens have a history of paying their guys.
They're gonna get this done. The Baltimore Ravens don't let
guys that they want back on that team go that.
That's one thing they do. They resign their guys. It's
one thing I will say. I believe that Lamar Jackson
style football fits the Baltimore Ravens more than any other
(10:38):
team in the league because the way that they want
to run the football and throw the ball off of
play ass and different things like this. But when you
go back to looking at his contract situation, are we
paying him based off of him being at the NFL
m v P or all we off of potential off
of potential and I think pay off a potential. It's
(11:00):
a little bit of both. I mean, you assume you
he stay healthy, he can continue to do what he did,
you would assume. I mean what you're basing the potential
off of what his resume has has given you prove
is he is? He Josh Deshaun Watson. Different thing if
you look at it's like you said, Deshaun Watson open
(11:22):
Pandora's box. We haven't even got to talking about the
Joe Burrows and the Justin Herbers and those guys coming
into the coming off their rookie contracts. So what do
you pay him off of? It's gonna have to be
off of Deshaun Watson because he's an elite quarterback that
has accomplished more than Deshaun Watson. And yes, and that's
(11:45):
the that's that's that's the bottom line of it all.
I think that that that's going to be uncomfortable and
it's gonna be interesting to see how those topics play
out and how they, you know, run their courts. You're
listening up on game that's t J. Hutchman's Out of
Plexico Burst. I'm LaVar Arrington Uh, coming up next, Draymond Green. Yes,
we are now going to touch on the topic of
(12:05):
Draymond Green coming out of his fourth NBA title. He
was a lightning rod for conversation based off of the
things that he was saying, uh, the performances that he
was having on the court, as well as on his podcast.
We have some sound on that, so we'll get to
that on the other side of his break. All right,
you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. All right, here we go,
(12:28):
welcome back in. This is up on game. Uh. That
Dollar Saved Club six blade razor and you know what
it does. Brings noticeably smooth shaves with six stainless steel
blades for swift hair removal and a lubricating strip that
keeps things smooth. The Dollar Shave Club razors are sold
(12:51):
at Dollar Shade Club dot com or in stores. Uh, Fellas,
we're gonna revisit the NBA finals. Out of the finals
came some interesting sound from one of the most polarizing figures.
And should I say the NBA or should I say
in media? Should I say in the NBA and in media?
(13:14):
It's up for you to decide. But take a listen
to what our man Draymond Green had to say, if
you know the game of basketball, basketball will give you
enough to talk about the problem is all of these
people talking about basketball that don't know basketball, and so
what do you do you chase controversy the new media,
(13:35):
we don't do that. That's why you see J. J.
Reddick flourishing. That's why you see c. J. McCullum flourishing.
That's why you see me flourishing. So we don't do that.
We simply talk the game that we know and embrace it. Teach.
That's what these spots are about. How do you teach
(13:56):
the game? How do you teach the fans the game?
These people to think they know the game of basketball
but don't really know. How does JJ ready go up
there and teach the game? That's the new media. You
got foods like Kendrick Perkins, come dressing like a clown,
come uparre in a jail suit, and then you lead
a game early tonight. Stand on your word, brother, you
(14:19):
gotta stand on that. One thing is for certain. I'm
gonna stand on my full time champ. I'm out. Oh wow,
he did drop the mic and he did drop Maybe
that should have been a maybe this is a second
hour on your head. I mean because Draymond Green got
on Kendrick Perkins his head. Um new media teaching versus
(14:43):
hot takes. What what is your you know? I know
for us, the premise of our show is three dudes
that did it, lived it, understand it, know it, and
our solution based, solution driven. But we're also, uh, we
come from that, you know, come from that angle that
we want to educate um. But it doesn't have to
(15:05):
be xs and those in terms of educating, it could
just be understanding you know, how certain things are are
taking place, rules of engagement, different things like that, perspectives
from players, coaches, all those different things. What would y'alls
take on what Draymond had to say? Draymond had he
has a point, But I would assume Kendrick Perkins played
(15:27):
the game a long time. I can't say he don't
know the gain exactly. The problem is Kendrick Perkins pick
Boston and Win has some things to say about Draymond
that Draymond didn't like. So he's just singled him out
and so. But but he does have a point about
teaching the game. There's people that played the game maybe
and we all know this, that don't know a damn thing.
(15:49):
They dumb. They were just talented. They can't teach you anything.
They can't teach themselves. They just did things instinctually that
made them really good players. But when criticism in those
hot that's what people want to hear in some people,
they go into that lane and they stay into that
(16:09):
lane where somebody, Oh Steph Curry can't do this and that, man,
you really don't believe that, But you know people are
gonna listen to that, Oh, Lebron James can't do this, this,
or that. It really don't Kevin Durant, is it everybody?
All those guys that I just named, generational players, some
of the best players the NBA has ever seen, to
(16:30):
criticize them, You know people are gonna listen to that,
But do you really believe that that's what he's saying.
You got guys like J. J. Reddick that can articulate
the game to where the average fan gets it. Draymond
does a really good job. But I don't know if
Kendrick Perkins can teach it or not teach it. I
(16:52):
just know he had some words for Draymond. Draymond didn't
like him. So now he going back at Kendrick Perkins
because he don't want to check fapionship, as he said,
four time champs, and then Plax dropped the mic on him.
You could hear a drop from from the from the
professional athlete standpoint, whether it's you know, NBA, NFL, or
(17:17):
whatever sport. Maybe I no longer want to hear athletes
talking about author I'm not listening to what everybody else
is saying. I'm not listening to what the media saying.
I don't I don't care what anybody thinks. This proves
to us, not just in dray months uh you know situation,
but also Steph Curry him holding up to zero, you know,
(17:40):
over his eye because everybody on the other for another
network network said that he would never win another championship.
But if he didn't have Kevin Durant and he proved
them wrong, all the nay says, we're saying, listen, the
Golden State days are done basically after they came off
with two seasons with low and records and now they're
(18:01):
back on top. So Dremond Green played Thompson. He even
had some things to say about Jaren Jackson, saying it
strengthen numbers and and and it picked them off. And
I mean the man set on the podium and calls
your bum J J. May get your game right this summer,
come back at them. I'm not absolutely, but this whole
(18:22):
thing about these guys are not listening to trust me,
They're listening to what you're saying, and they're using this
is motivation and and all they're doing is adding fuel
to the fire for these guys to go out and
prove everybody wrong. And that's exactly what they did. And
they are going to relish in this opportunity, in this
moment for the next you know, to the season starts.
(18:44):
To let everybody know they listen, we are four time
world champions. You know they're coming back better. Like I
believe that they're coming back a better team next year.
Of course they are. They're gonna get younger, they're gonna
that they are gonna plug in ingrical pieces that are
gonna make them better and the paint primarily because they
(19:06):
don't need anything on the perimeter, because because of the
guys that they already helping a roster. But if they
they're going to get better and ask somebody to post
and play defense, maybe a guy like Steven Adams or
whoever it may be, whys is coming back off of injury.
But Draymond, Clay and Steph are sending a message to
(19:27):
the world. They listen, Man, we don't care what y'all say.
We hear y'all. We're listening. Now. What four chips deal
with it? Yeah, I would say he's right. He did
get four chips and he did do some good things.
But I mean, he was not the catalyst for that
team winning. He was the don't matter if the catalyst.
That kind of matters a little bit when you when
(19:49):
you got that, when you have that much to say
about it, like he's you know, in the last game,
I think he was too rebounds for triple double. Think
pretty well, he was a big part of it. But
what Draymond does, you can't look at it statistically. It's
so much more than that. In basketball. The defensity plays
(20:13):
energy that he breeds, and so it was also a
liability at one point, and that's why that's but you
can't they didn't just state I'm so what I'm gonna
just state doti obvious on it. I mean, he wasn't
a catalyst like that first game or the second game
he came out, and he'll make the first one to
tell you he wasn't the catalyst. Everybody knows that team
(20:33):
runs through Steph Curry. He'll be the first one to
tell you that. But it's his impact and when he's
on that court and his way of communicating, his way
of setting screens, his understanding of knowing I'm not the catalyst.
How many guys can swallow their pride when they wide
open and be like, I'm gonna take this now, I'm
gonna get this to Stepford Clay because I know they're
(20:54):
gonna knock it down to Jordan Pools. I don't disagree
with that, will be It wasn't mean he did pretty
decent in the last game. That was his best showing
in that last game. I mean, that's that's fine. Here's
what I'll say, right, I would never I would never
say a guy that played the game at the level
(21:16):
that that Kendrick Perkins played at at doesn't know basketball.
He's just searching for hot takes. I mean, you gotta
be a pretty special dude to be able to make
it to the league. I mean that's first and foremost.
I would never. Yeah, I wouldn't diminish anything that anybody
had to say. I would also challenge people to think
about how many people outside UH players, former players, do
(21:36):
you trust their opinions and their words when they're speaking
on on certain certain leagues, whether it's the NFL, whether
it's college football, college basketball, whether it's the NBA. You know,
to me, it's all athletes, it's all former athletes. If
you imagine if you took out all of the former
athletes that represent the analysts on these shows, them shows
(21:59):
with suck, they would be horrible shows. So to me,
when you look at what what these different athletes, retired athletes,
current athletes, what they bring to the table in terms
of how they explain what's going on, Everybody's going to
have different perspectives because everybody has different backgrounds. It's a
matter of how you you organize your information. That's how
(22:20):
you you know, you communicate your your information. Really that
makes makes it matter the most in media, you know
so and more notably, everybody has different careers, so that
so they speak from different experiences. I can't say, I
can't tell you and in the conversation that we would
(22:41):
have in terms of debates, what it feels like to
go into preparing for Super Bowl, what it feels like
to be in the halftime or in the first and
second quarter of the Super Bowl. And I think Draymond
and Clay Thompson that's that's exactly what they are implying
when Click Thompson says to J. J. Jen Jackson to listen, man,
(23:02):
we haven't been here before. We know how to respond
even if we get beat by forty or fifty points.
So they're speaking from different angle was based off of
where their career went or what they experienced as a player,
and I think that's what he's saying. He's not saying
that Kendrick Perkins doesn't know basketball because because we all
(23:26):
know that to be false. I think Kendrick Perkin was
a great player. He played on two great teams. He
was able to want to I think he was with Boston,
so he can speak from, you know, those points of view.
But what he's saying is that listen, you know, just
because you know you played in Boston and you had
some bad things to say out be just you know,
(23:47):
it doesn't diminish his his basketball knowledge because obviously Draymond
was just a little distrounto based off of some of
the things that Kendrick Perkins has to say, saying he
was on his head. He was on Draymond's head. He
just outstare basically taking up space. He ain't doing none
but passing the ball. He a lot. I mean, he
(24:07):
was on his head and so. But they're both. They're
both they're both media irritants. Like I mean, let's be honest,
Like the way his game is, the way the way
both of them played their games, the way they kind
of present their their discussion points. It's irritant driven. You know,
it's not. It's not like, make no mistake about it.
Draymond is going to irritate you and he enjoys it,
(24:30):
you know. Kendrick Perkins, Yeah, sure, sure, so he is.
So I mean, taking for what it's worth, I mean,
I face value. They're both irritants in terms of how
they discuss things or how they approached topics. So, I mean,
I will say this, I find Draymond Green to be
super entertaining. I listened to his podcast. I I pay
(24:52):
attention to the things he has to say because one
of the things I learned about media is if you're
one of those guys that people don't know what you're
gonna say X, they're gonna listen to you. You know,
it's so funny, like like people that hate you, Your
biggest listeners and your biggest customers are not your friends
and your family. Your biggest supporters are the people that
hate the things that you say. I had a person
(25:12):
come on my social media the other week and tell
me how I wasn't nothing nothingness, You're nothing. Everybody loves
the guy you're talking about this that another and right
below the comment, they started following me like do you
see the irony? And that so to me. You know,
when you look at someone like Draymond Green, Draymond Green
(25:32):
is going to move, He's going to move the needle.
He's saying. He flourishes because he's teaching. I say flourishes
because he's provocative, he's polarizing, and and you don't know
what he's gonna say next, but he says it. Well,
he's not he's not saying what he needs to say
in a way where you can't understanding, where it's not clear,
(25:53):
where it's not thought out, where it's not articulated, very
very nicely, very well done. I mean, the young man
knows what he's doing with a microphone and and you
know what that's that's to me. I think that's the wave.
I think with the n i L situation with college
players actually being able to have these opportunities in some places,
high school guys will have in and and ladies they
(26:16):
will have these opportunities. I think that is the way
that is new media is guys that are current in
the games are gonna have a voice, a larger voice.
So anyways, well we're gonna take a break. Um well,
it's not a break, it's a it's an update from
our guy trending from from Ilan. On the other side
of that, we're gonna talk about some pat my homes
and listen to his reactions to Tyreek kill. Hello, what
(26:37):
we got V are the eyes of the sporting world
This weekend focused on the one hundred twenty second US
Open Championship. Round three underway with Colin Morrikawa and Joel
Damon tied for the lead at five under par overall.
They will tee off around three at three forty five
Eastern time this afternoon, one shot off the lead. We've
got a five way tie for third place at four
(26:58):
under par overall. That includes Rory McElroy and John rom
The US Open this year at the Country Club Brookline, Massachusetts.
In case you guys and the people listening out there,
we're wondering, you know, what would it take to become
a member of the Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, just
outside of Boston. The initiation fee for members and estimated
(27:22):
five hundred thousand dollars, with yearly dues and other eighteen
thousand dollars. And it's so exclusive that we mentioned earlier
Tom Brady used to live in a home just to
the left of the fourteenth Tea. Well, tom Brady himself
reportedly had to wait two years for his membership application
(27:42):
to be accepted, with a member telling the Boston Globe
and I quote that sort of celebrity doesn't just wash
off unquote facts about the site of this year's US Open. Meanwhile,
in tennis, yeah, go ahead alone, alright, it's one though,
I knew where you were going, where you're going, I do,
(28:05):
and a lot of our listeners to you when they
know you so well, there there's no need then that's
a compliment to you in your style. Than in tennis,
four time Grand s Lamp champion Naomi Osaka withdrew from
Wimbledon today, posting on social media quote, my achilles still
isn't right, so we'll see you next time. There go
my grass dreams unquote. Coming up tonight at eight pm Eastern,
(28:28):
Game two of the Stanley Cup Finals from Denver, but
the Colorado Avalanche leading the two time defending Stanley Cup
champion Tampa Bay Lightning one game to none. Up on
game continues after a word from Dollar Shave Club. The
Dollar Shave Club six Blade razor brings noticeably smooth shaves
with six stainless steel blades for swift hair removal and
(28:49):
a lubricating strip that keeps things smooth. Dollar Shave Club
razors are sold at Dollar Shave Club dot com or
in stores. Thank you Jones, and thank you to the
goat isasic lowing crown as we say, il il um
fellas Pat Mahomes we talked about in an hour one
(29:09):
when James Jackson got on to his head about uh
the b o b as as you would call it,
stretch of a bunch of bologna for those out there
who weren't there on our one of of of Tyreek Hill,
saying that to a was more accurate than you know.
Patrick Mahomes, Well, my Homes had a reaction to what
(29:32):
Tarik had to say, and here's what he said. I'm
surprised a little, um, just because I feel like we
we love Tyreek here, we always loved and we still
love him. I saw him out of Formula one in Miami.
I mean, I'm sure it had something to do with
trying to get his podcast some some stuff and get
it rolling. But uh, definitely, I still love Tyreek is
one of the kind player. But UHG, you know, and
Coach Red's offense, it takes the whole team. I mean,
(29:54):
this offense was rolling before I got here in This
offense was rolling when I was a young Cowboy fan
watching the Eagles beat up on the Cowboy with So
I mean, it's a it's an offense that's more than
one player, and that includes myself. Wow, that was passive aggressive.
If you ask me, that was that was like, I
didn't like it. I thought it was passive aggressive because
to me, I think that if you if you're going
(30:17):
to be aggressive about it in any way, just go
ahead and say what you feel. Because he never said
now he's not, I don't I don't buy it. He
just mean, what do you expect for him to say? Man,
I'm telling he's one in the world. So if you're
gonna address it, then you go ahead and address it.
But you know, Patrick Mahomes is not a bit like that.
We we know that he's not gonna start up for
(30:38):
any controversy. He's going to continue to let hip. That
was a tap bit of con That was a tape
bit of controversy. But I don't even for me. If
you're Hill, get out there and speak the truth. Man, don't.
But what if people believes he's speaking the truth, you
keep you keep putting it off to the side that
he's not being insecurate. I don't. I don't think Tyrick
(31:00):
Hill wanted to leave Kansas City. I believe he was
put in a situation with the Dolphins offered them so
much money he couldn't turn it down and they couldn't.
Not on the same team he saw Davonte Adams to
get that deal. If the Chiefs were negotiating that it
took too long. Oh no, I need to come close
to this. When when I say come out and tell
(31:22):
the truth, Tyrek Hill sits on the radio and says
he was underutilized and under and underappreciated. My my g
you had a hundred and eleven receptions last year. You
average eighties six catches in twelve hundred yards over over
four seasons. You got a hundred and sixty nine targets
last year. That's eleven per game. So you say, so,
(31:46):
how can you sit there and say you're underutilized and
underappreciate it. You you're the most exposed to player that
we have seen it the position in a long time.
So defense are not just gonna let you just rip
them apart and run through his own six and seven
of your bombs every weekend. You're going to get double teams.
He's saying that they didn't put them one of the
ones Stue wasts when they were playing against the team's
(32:08):
best corner back. No, my nude, they're gonna w You
have to understand that. But then don't go on the
radio in your podcasts and these interviews and say you
will underappreciate it. Do you not think Andy Reid and passion,
we're trying to get you to football. You just can't
burn Bridges man like you had over a hundred catches. Yeah,
you might have wanted more looks at it. When you
(32:29):
have over a hunter catches, you're not underutilized. Today. The
six nine talkers in the season month replex he getting
ten pad pretty much ten balls throwing his way per
game on average, just under ten a game. You want
the best offensive plays. You're one of the best players
(32:49):
on the team. They're trying to get you the ball.
And I think what happens is, and I think everybody
is somewhat guilty of this, is when you leave a team,
instead of just talking about all the positive you want
to throw little jabs here and there. You can't do that.
There's no need to do that because you never know
if your paths might cross again. Don't burn a bridge
(33:13):
that you may need later on. And we don't realize
that enough, but I did when I didn't. I ain't
gonna lie to you until it was too late in Pittsburgh.
So you handle things the right way, which a lot
of us do not. So you're very well qualified to
(33:33):
speak on something like this because a lot of us didn't.
You blew it up and I will never cross it
ever again. Hey, I guess I was in between the
two of you guys, and I was I ain't detonated,
but I didn't handle it the right way either. It's
just something we all do. Man, you live the un

the lovely Joy Taylor will be joining you guys immediately
(35:47):
following the end of our show. Uh. Mike McCarthy, he
got fined, uh for a second straight year for practices
being too physical. I gotta ask you, guys, and just
real quickly, super quickly. Um. I think it's a good
thing and you can never be too physical. So if
you're getting fined for it, that means you're setting a
(36:08):
tone and you're okay with setting that tone, even though
I would say follow the rules. But we all know,
you know, sometimes you know, things get a little spirited.
What do you guys think? Hey, plex By the way,
we got clear skies now there there. It's almost impossible man,
that had any practice without there being a lot of
(36:28):
physical contact. It's virtually impossible the lineman guys trying to
prove a point. Either let them do it or don't
hold the practice because we all participate in them and
it's high contact. What you got plex this pro football
and badminton. I mean it could be touched, you know.
Greg Loyd said it was touched for the flag football.
I'm just listen if you if you want to set
(36:50):
that physicality tone with your team, play physical on Sunday.
Stop somebody to do something, block somebody. All right, well
physical enough. We were physical for these two hours. I'll
tell you that, so physical that I'm gonna go get
out here in these clear blue skies and palm trees
with with a nice little cocktail, maybe even set up
(37:13):
a nice little hooker spot. Yeah, you know how that
goes for your boy. I'm enjoying that pool, y'all. Y'all,
enjoy y'all Saturday. You got Joy Taylor coming up next.
Shouts out to y'all. This is up on game Fox
